    Is it true that newer Neopets accounts get more random events?

    I swear someone did a group test with a bunch of friends and reported their findings on a petpage, but I can't find the data.

    I don't know if that's true, but I did notice that my new account found 3 lab map pieces in one day...that never happened with any of my aged accounts.

    Yea, a lot of users were commenting on it.

    And the amount of FFQ quests on new accounts was unusually high, where as a lot of two year accounts had never gotten one. Neopets claims that all accounts have equal luck, but I remember that the editorial once said that new accounts had a higher event rate to keep the new user interested.

    I can't verify that though...

    I have a relatively new account (legit). My account is 1 month old, and I have found numerous items in random events so far, most notably 3 Secret Lab pieces.

    Yeah I think newer accounts DO get better events, because as you have said I've also tried that, I had a bunch of refreshers going and the newer ones got more items and better ones at that, I got 7 pieces of the secret lab map and the aged one only got 2 pieces of the secret lab map and a bunch of crap.

    My older accounts get almost no random events. But my newer ones get randoms like I found a map piece etc. I guess it's just to help newbs.

    I think its more dependant on how well the account is doing.
    I have a really old account (think 5-6 years) that has only been played for a few months and I am still getting... average finds.
    Better than what you guys are talking about with your old accounts but nothing stellar.

    Whenever I made a new account I seemed to get more random events, I got a Draik Trans from sloth once on a two week old account.
